Hello. Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. In tonight's headlines: | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
Room for debate. Protests grow over the Government's controversial | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
bedroom tax. If people stand up and say this is wrong, we are not going | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
to do it, and everybody stood up, walked out onto the street and told | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
them straight you can't do it. Unexplained. An open verdict at an | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
inquest into the death of a woman whose body was found in undergrowth | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
in Cumbria. Banking on success. Sir Richard | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Branson's in the region and he's revealed big plans for expansion. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
And teens' choice. How some pupils will be allowed to leave school at | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
In sport, we've been to watch the awards dished out to some of the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
region's top disabled athletes. And the boot's on the other foot, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
as Middlesbrough defender George Friend finds out what it's like to | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:09. | ||
It's been called the bedroom tax and it will affect thousands of | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
tenants in our region. But now some are preparing to fight back. A | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
summit meeting was called today of the people that represent 100,000 | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
tenants across the North East. They were gathering to discuss the | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
impact and how they might fight this benefit change. Our Political | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
Editor Richard Moss was there. It might look pretty civilised, but | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
this is actually a council of war. Tenants from associations across | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
the North East gathering because don't like the so-called bedroom | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
:01:43. | :01:46. | ||
tax. They include people who will take a hit. And that's because of | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the effect on people like Alison McCauley from Skelton in Teesside. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Under the new rules, her four bedroom-house will be classed as | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
having two bedrooms too many for the single mother and her twin sons. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
The result? It is not there to penalise me and my children. For | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
something that is not my fault. I didn't deliberately go into a four | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
bedroomed house. It started out as a family of six. It has been my | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
children's home for several years and now we can't live there. She'll | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
lose �150 a month in benefits. He lives on his own in a two-bedroom | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
flat in Dormanstown. But because of his spare room, he'll lose around | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
�11 of housing benefit a week. going to have to cut down on fuel, | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
food, living expenses and costs. I am willing to move to another | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
property but there is no other property available. So, this | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
meeting of tenants associations is deciding how it can protest against | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
the changes. Its organiser was the Coast and Country Housing | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Association. But wouldn't they be better helping tenants find new | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
affordable homes rather than stoking up protest? At this moment | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
in time, there are 1,800 tenants and occupying and as we speak today, | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
:03:07. | :03:07. | ||
we have two two bedroom apartments available. So there is not a | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
plethora of accommodation. here's one woman who's been | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
delighted to see some action. Maureen Hagan lives with her | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
granddaughter in Grangetown. She'll also lose money for having a spare | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
bedroom. But after today's meeting, she feels a protest movement is | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
gaining momentum. When you're used to working in a group of three | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
people fighting all these taxes and you come to anything like this and | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
you realise there is more than three of you, it is brilliant. It | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
gives you that extra boost. And I hope, I really hope it goes on | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
further. The Government is determined that it has to cut the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
housing benefit bill. And protestors have just a few weeks to | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
persuade ministers this is the wrong way. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Richard Moss is here now. Is the Government under real pressure over | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
this now, as the protests mount? The pressure is mounting. The | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
Government wants to stick to its guns. This Bill could be �20 | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
billion a year. This could shave �5 billion off the bill. But | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
unfairness is another issue. This is what the MPs said. It was unfair | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
to have people living in social housing accommodation that was | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
above and beyond what was route -- required for their living standards | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
and having 5 million people on the social housing waiting list and | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
having more than a quarter of a million people living in | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
overcrowded accommodation. There is a trade to be had. It is pertinent | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
to the North East because recent figures show that more than 46% of | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
all recipients of housing benefit in the North East are being paid to | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
live in accommodation that is too large for their requirements. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Government seems quite determined over this bedroom tax. The | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
protesters cannot stop it, can they? It is not like the poll tax, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
people cannot refuse to pay it. It is a cup to their benefits. They | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
will not have a quiz. -- hut to their benefits. There is a budget | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
due. Maybe it can persuade the Chancellor that this is the wrong | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
option to choose. The Housing Association said they are calling | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
this the nasty tax. The Government says that for everybody who is a | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
loser, there is the winner. The -- there is a winner. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
The coroner at the inquest into the death of a woman found in | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
undergrowth in Cumbria has recorded an open verdict. Deputy coroner | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Robert Chapman said he believed Betty Brown had probably died after | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
being the victim of a sexually motivated attack. But almost three | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
years since her disappearance, there wasn't enough evidence to say | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
exactly what happened to her. Alison Freeman reports. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
No-one knows for sure why Betty Brown left Edinburgh on May the | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
18th 2010. But the following January, the 56-year-old's body was | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
found in undergrowth in Longtown. She was often met there by her | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
daughter and son-in-law before going to their house in Gretna. But | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
uncharacteristically Betty hadn't told them she was coming. Today, | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
the deputy coroner Robert Chapman recorded an open verdict, saying | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
there wasn't enough evidence to say exactly what had happened to Betty. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
The pathologist told the inquest in Carlisle her body was too badly | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
decomposed to find the cause of death. He said that despite her a | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
drink problem and depression, he ruled a suicide because she had | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
belongings were for suggesting she was planning a week away. He also | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
said that because she was naked from the waist down with her | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
clothing scattered around her, he believed she had been lured into | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
the undergrowth by an attacker, who was sexually motivated. I think it | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
was an unlawful killing. I am quite happy that the coroner has given an | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
open verdict because it means the case is left open. I would never | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
have got over it if they said that my sister had committed suicide. I | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
knew my sister. I knew she would not do that. She would not have | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
taken her life. All that trouble to come down here. She was heading to | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
her family. It has been very frustrating because you've got a | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
family that want to know what has happened to their mother and sister. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
As the police, we like to deliver that. On this occasion, due to the | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
lack of evidence we have had, we haven't been able to do that, but | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
we have left no stone unturned. What happened to Betty remains a | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
mystery but there is hope that someone who knows the truth will | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
come forward. Sir Richard Branson has said Virgin | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Money could transform itself into a major banking player by buying | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
hundreds of branches from Royal Bank of Scotland. They would be | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
added to the 70 branches that came with the takeover of Northern Rock. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
The Virgin boss was in Newcastle this morning meeting staff and | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
:08:33. | :08:33. | ||
young entrepreneurs. Our Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
One year on from Virgin Money's takeover of Northern Rock and the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Virgin chairman is here casting his eye over the acquisition. And, he | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
says, the bank's thinking big. It could make a bid to buy 316 | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
branches from Royal Bank of Scotland., RBS want to play ball, | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
we may well be there to talk to them about their branches as well | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
to see if we can do to their brothers what we have done to | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Northern Rock. Currently, Virgin Money only has 70 branches. A deal | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
with RBS would deliver nearly two million customers and 250,000 small | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
business accounts. If we were to take over the RBS branches and | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
invest the kind of money we have done in Northern Rock branches, we | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
would be a serious player on the High Street. People would like to | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
see an alternative bank. We would be that alternative bank. On his | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
visit, Sir Richard also met young regional entrepreneurs. They've | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
been given loans from a scheme he persuaded the Government to set up. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
The future of Great Britain will be based on a kind of young | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
entrepreneurs I've met today. Some of them were built the Virgins of | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
the future. And they remind me of myself years ago. Jessica was just | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
one. But her idea of waterproof children's rain and swimwear caught | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
the eye. It is great to meet him. He is such a role model for | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
entrepreneurs. It is an honour to meet him. For the region, it is | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
good to know that Sir Richard could be writing out a cheque to expand a | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
bank that, as Northern Rock, has less than a bright future. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
One of Sir Richard Branson's other interests was in the news today as | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
it was revealed the bungled bidding process for the West Coast Mainline | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
rail franchise has cost taxpayers �50 million, according to a | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Westminster watchdog. Virgin Rail originally lost out to First Group | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
in the battle to run West Coast trains, but when questions were | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
asked about the bidding process, the whole franchise battle was put | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
on ice. The Commons Public Accounts Committee has pointed to a failure | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
to get basic processes right. Police investigating violence | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
before last month's football match between Sunderland and West Ham | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
have released images of two men they want to speak to. The men were | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
picked up on CCTV and are being urged to contact officers. So far, | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
20 people have been arrested after trouble outside a bar in Low Row on | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
January the 12th. Police believe the disorder was pre-arranged. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
A barrister held a gun to his own head in a courtroom today at the | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
inquest into the death of a soldier in Iraq. The QC was holding the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
very weapon that killed Lance Cpl David Wilson from County Durham | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
after what the inquest heard was a drunken incident involving several | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
comrades. It was also told that the 27-year-old soldier, from | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Spennymoor, had everything to live for. Gerry Jackson has been | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
following the evidence at the hearing in Crook. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
This tragedy happened at Basra in 2008 as the British deployment was | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
coming to an end. The solders had been ordered to carry fire arms at | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
all times as a security measure. David Wilson was found slumped over | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
a desk with a single gunshot wound to his head. At that time, the MoD | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
said there was nothing to suggest anyone else had been involved but | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
yesterday the inquest he was told that are sold at the funeral had | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
told a mourner there were four of us, we had been drinking, something | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
happened that should never have happened. We were all drunk. The | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
inquest has also heard that alcohol was tightly restricted at the base. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
It also heard that Lance Corporal Wilson was three times over the | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
drink-drive limit. He had become dressed before the two and 11 week | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
old child, was engaged to be married, was cheerful and that | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
suicide would have been out of character. And then today's real | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
drama. William Boyce QC acting for the solder's family in front of his | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
fiancee, father and twin brother was hand at the very 9 mm pistol | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
found next to David Wilson's body. He suggested to the pathologist who | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
performed the post-mortem that the angle that he was holding it | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
against his head would have been awkward and unnatural for someone | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
to achieve that wanted to shoot themselves. The pathologist agreed | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
that was a possible interpretation but said it would depend on the | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
inclination of the soldier's head. Also today, the inquest heard from | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Staff Sergeant Anthony Todd who admitted he had been drinking with | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
the soldier on the night he died. He said a considerable amount of | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
vodka had been consumed but he said he had gone off to bed at around 2 | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
am and hadn't heard the shot fired that killed Lance Corporal David | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
Wilson. The inquest is expected to continue tomorrow. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
You're watching Look North. Still to come tonight: | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Jeff's here with tonight's sports desk. | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
Football hack. Meet the Boro player who's tasting life in a newsroom. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
High pressure remains enshrined the next few days with temperatures | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
dependent on cloud amount. Dry and later for the full forecast. -- | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
joined me later. Motorists across the region are | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
being warned to expect to pay record prices at the fuel pumps by | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Easter. The cost of petrol and diesel is expected to continue | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
rising over the coming weeks. People living in rural areas could | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
be among those hardest hit. Peter Marshall's been to Cumbria to find | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
out more. Filling your tank is proving | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
increasingly dramatic with pump prices on the up and a third of | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
increase expected. It really rose last year. This couple downsize | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
their car to save petrol money only to see savings eaten away by price | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
rises. We were trying to save the money them spent it on the kids, | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
given them treats, that happens. gets to the weekend and even a | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
friend coming with us for a walk, we can't afford to do it because we | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
can't afford the fuel. It does not trust a rural issue. In the North | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
West, petrol prices went up 6.2 pence per litre from January to | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
February. Diesel went up 5.2 pence so an average litre costs trust | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
over �1.44. It means a two-car family's petrol bill has risen by | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
�30 -- 13 proms 25. Petrol prices in isolated areas can also be | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
higher. The smaller rural retailers don't have the volume to be able to | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
offer significant price reductions. And the distribution cost us | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
greater to them than it is often to a convenient nearby urban centre. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
The a blames rises on the falling pound and the stock market | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
speculators and the stark warning is pump prices haven't peaked yet. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
A glitzy event masterminded by two North East business men is set to | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
raise at least �300,000 for three of our region's charities. Graham | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Wylie and Ian Watson are hosting an event next month called Fashion | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Match in the grounds of Newcastle Falcons to raise funds for the | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Children's Heart Unit fund at the Freeman Hospital for Marie Curie | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
and the Chef's Adopt A School Charity. Celebrities including the | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Royle Family's Ralph Little, and comedian Bobby Davro will be | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
supporting. Is 14 too young to decide what you | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
want to do with your life? I couldn't decide what to have for | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
lunch at that age! The question comes as youngsters of that in age | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
in Harrogate have been told they'll soon be able to leave school and go | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
to college. It's part of Government plans to give young people more | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
options and, it hopes, more chance of finding a job. Stuart Whincup | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
reports. In the college salon, it looks like | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
the real thing. Hair and beauty is one of three subjects offered to 14 | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
year-olds in Harrogate under new plans. The idea is to offer | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
youngsters more tries. For some students, school is not the ideal | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
learning environment. Some thrive better in a college environment. We | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
have staff industry trained, and we have facilities that are industry- | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
standard so we have links with employers which stops them on a | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
pathway for employment later, possibly apprenticeships. Some have | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
criticised the plan. 14, they say, is too young to know what career to | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
follow but the MP visited the college and a more practical | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
education would benefit his daughter, he says. The worst thing | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
is for her to sit in a classroom and not understand what is going on. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
She loves cookery, and if you can do something like that, it would | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
benefit her greatly. Harrogate College is one of 200 across the | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
country to be given the green light to run the courses which will start | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
in September. The college says this is not an easy option. All the | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
courses come with mandatory GCSEs in English, science and maths, and | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
this is about offering youngsters a taste about a profession they might | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
want to pursue. Now, you knew what you wanted to do | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
at 14. I'd always wanted to be a sports | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
reporter. Keep going, you might get there and | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
you might be famous one day! 2012 was an outstanding year for | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
sport generally and disabled sport in particular. The London | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Paralympics was the most successful in the history of the Games, and | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
this lunchtime local athletes were honoured at a special ceremony in | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Durham. For one young star it meant another award to add to the trophy | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
cabinet, as Dawn Thewlis reports. 2012 was a remarkable year for this | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
young man. At just 15, swimmer Josef Craig became the youngest | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Paralympic gold medallist breaking two world records in the process. | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
He's won countless awards since and today was no different as he picked | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
up the Young Male Achiever trophy at the North East Disability Sport | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:25. | ||
Awards. And my mum doesn't like it, she puts up all the shells and | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
builds everything. She says, stop winning them. I am sick of doing | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
:19:40. | :19:43. | ||
DIY. I still think, how did I do that in a million years? And it was | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
another trophy for swimmer Stephanie Moore who won the | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
equivalent awards for the girls. wish every nominee got a trophy | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
this year because there were some inspirational athletes and I hope | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
they do succeed in 2013. Teesside Paralympic wheelchair basketball | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
player Terry Bywater won the male Personality Award collected by | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
former Paralympian Lee Fawcett on his behalf. And Gayle Bloomfield | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
won the women's award for her success in dressage. I am totally | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
blown away. I am over the moon. It is great to be recognised for your | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
dedication to your sport because we trained very hard and you hope you | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
can produce a good result. But then to be recognised it is lovely, | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
really lovely. There was also recognition for Tees Rowing Club | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
home of Olympic champion Kat Copeland which won the Club Of The | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Year trophy for their programme promoting adaptive rowing. And Liz | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Starrs and Glynis Hansen were winners of the Service To Sport | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Award for 25 years helping Hartlepool Sportability club. And | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
for Paralympic legend and three time gold medallist Stephen Miller | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
there was a special award. A hip injury prevented him from making | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
the podium in London but captaining the British team and the success of | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
the games made up for his disappointment on the field. I've | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
got no regrets. It was a great games. I'm glad I did what it did | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
for disability sport. It is a great turning-point for Paralympic sports. | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
We need to keep going. The drink is real. It is alive. -- the dream is | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
real. On to football, and at the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Riverside tomorrow night it's Middlesbrough against Chelsea for a | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
place in the FA Cup quarter final. But what do footballers do when | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
they finish training? A round of golf? A bit of shopping? Well, not | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Boro's George Friend. George is doing a part-time degree in | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
journalism, and he's been learning from the club's PR team and from | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
our radio colleagues at BBC Tees. Peter Harris went to meet him. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
North Yorkshire. County Durham. Teesside. Proud of where we leave - | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
- live. BBC tees. A bit of spare time saw Middlesbrough's left-back | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
signing up at the local radio station for work experience. | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
Learning a new trade is all part of the university degree course. | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
me, the university work is a bit of escapism. I can use my mind in a | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
different way and I enjoyed that learning aspect of it. Where others | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
might play golf, I do this. There has been working at BBC Tees once a | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
week when his football schedule allows. This is the practical side | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
of the degree emotionalism and broadcasting. One of the successes | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
of Middlesbrough's season so far, he is used to dealing with the | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
media but has newsroom live surprised him? This year, I am out | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
of work because for every little thing that comes out for the vans | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
and public, it all revolves around the club, so there is a lot of work | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
involved. Arsenal lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich... He has taken to it | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
as a natural, he is learning different disciplines all the time, | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
he is learning how to write bulletins, he is learning how to | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
edit our interviews, but he is also doing a bit of reporting for | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
himself, he is helping us get behind the scenes of the training | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
ground. We cannot get that close as reporters, so that is a real | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
insight for us. When I did some work experience 20 years ago, I did | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
the tea. Have you made tea it was I haven't had to make any tea yet. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
They were very good to me and they didn't pass me around too much. It | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
has been a good experience so far. That was really good, there. Well | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
done. He hopes to be writing headlines for himself tomorrow when | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
Middlesbrough take control seat in the FA Cup. -- take on Chelsea in | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
the FA Cup. Staying with football, four matches | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
to watch out for tonight. In League One, BBC Radio Cumbria will bring | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
you commentary of Carlisle against Walsall, while BBC Tees will keep | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
you updated on the latest instalment of Hartlepool's Great | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Escape. They're at home to Crewe. Radio York will have coverage of | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
the Minstermen's short trip to Rotherham. And in Scottish Division | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Three, Berwick take on Elgin City at Shielfield Park. | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
Durham expect captain Paul Collingwood to be fit for the new | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
season despite surgery to repair an injured thumb. The former England | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
batsman suffered a ruptured tendon in his right hand last year, but | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
surgery was delayed until the swelling went down. Collingwood led | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
Durham's recovery after taking over as skipper following a poor start | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
to the 2012 season. In rugby Union, Newcastle Falcons | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
have signed winger Noah Cato from Northampton Saints. The 24 year-old | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
who's represented England in the Sevens and at U20 level has joined | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
until the end of the season to bolster the Falcons' squad ahead of | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
:24:57. | :25:02. | ||
Now, Paul has been enigmatic over the weather. Is it going to be | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
cold? It is all to do with cloud amounts. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
It is critical. Most places will stay dry. Where the cloud bricks, | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
we will see sunshine. But those bricks will also give us Frost and | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
:25:29. | :25:29. | ||
fog. Cowden Mountsorrel so variable, resulting in various temperatures. | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
-- cloud and Melzer were variable. As I say, the cloud will vary from | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
place to place. The further North you bar, the more broken the cloud | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
will be. That is where we will see some mist and fog. Temperatures | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
will generally state trust above freezing where it stays cloudy. A | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
chilly start tomorrow and any early fog patch is cleared through the | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
morning and a bank of cloud breaks up nicely as we go through the day. | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
-- and that Bank of cloud. The Cumbrian crew of staff, the | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
temperatures should seize seven or eight Celsius. -- the Cumbrian | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
coast. High pressure stays with us as we head through tomorrow and | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
right through the rest of the working week. On Thursday, this | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
weather front sinks down from the North. It might increase the cloud | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
amount but it shouldn't produce much rain. The high pressure | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
establishes itself again as we head towards a beacon. If you are out | :26:41. | :26:51. | |
:26:51. | :26:52. | ||
and about, large dry. Friday, more cloud combined with the wind, it | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
will feel cooler. For Cumbria, a little bit more cloud at times | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
tomorrow and again on Thursday. Temperatures at 7 or 8. The cloud | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
thickening on Friday. For most of Cumbria, we should see temperatures | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
almost nudging double figures. Remember, catch up with all the | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
weather information on the website. And we will keep you updated on | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
your local BBC radio station. That is the way the weather is looking | :27:25. | :27:29. |
